The campaign aims to boost member numbers by more than a third to 500,000, double paid visits to 1 million and increase regular donors and member visits over the next five years.

The For the Love of Scotland campaign made its debut on Sunday, April 29 with a three-minute film on STV, featuring Rebekah, alongside an extraordinary cast from Hollywood A-listers to TV favourites and sports stars.

The stars were joined by a host of less well-known National Trust for Scotland supporters as they unveil what gets them down but also what fires them up about the country. The film took over the whole of a prime-time ad break and at three minutes, this is thought to be the longest Scottish TV advert ever made.

Rebekah was invited to take part in the video campaign to share her likes and dislikes about the country.

She said: “I visit the National Trust for Scotland properties quite a lot so when I heard about the opportunity I just had to do it.

“ It really put into perspective for me how much they actually do.”

In the film Rebekah speaks about the dark Scottish winters, how we can have four seasons in one day and her love for haggis and Scotland’s archaeology.

She said: “In Scotland we are only 10 minutes away from something beautiful like the Highlands or the countryside.

“While filming though I talked about my hate for the cobbled streets in our country. The producer didn’t understand where I was coming from at all but I just told him that he will never know because he doesn’t wear heels.”

Conservation charity, the National Trust for Scotland, protects some of the most treasured places and spaces around the Edinburgh area, including The Georgian House, Gladstone’s Land and Newhailes House and Gardens in Musselburgh.
